PRE-PASCHA
MEDITATIONS
A note to Syriac or
Aramaic Followers of Y'SHU+:
The time to stand
united has come; the WHOLE House of Israel… yes, the WHOLE House… is coming
under persecution world-wide, both the natural and the grafted-in
branches.
It is time to lay
aside differences and seek The LORD in repentance, on our face. It is clear that the 10 kings of Revelation
17 are actively pushing their agenda to eliminate all those who hinder their
program.
Followers of Y’SHU+
the M’SHIKHA are the only ones on the face of this
earth who can, through their obedience and their prayers, hinder their
efforts. The satan knows this, thus the
persecution of the Whole House of Israel.
Also note: I have used the form, Y’SHU+
the M’SHIKHA through-out, as found in the
Peshitta, instead of the Jewish form of Y’SHUA+
haMOSHIYACH.
Meditations
for the Pre-Pascha
(The Passover Season, 2016)

Now is My+ soul troubled;
and what shall I+ say ...
FATHER,
save ME+ from this hour ?
but for this cause
came I+ unto this hour.
FATHER,
Glorify Thy Name.
Then
came there a Voice from Heaven, saying,
I have both glorified It,
and will glorify It again.

Meditation Verse
Ephesians 1:7
In WHOM+ we have
redemption through His+ BLOOD, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches
of HIS grace;
In the literal Greek:
In WHOM+ we have something to loosen
with by the instrument of His+ BLOOD, the sending
away of the side-stepping,
transgressions, according to the fullness of HIS
[ The FATHER'S**] favor.
Re-worded:
In WHOM+ we
have a "loosening" instrument, His+
BLOOD, used
for the remission of transgressions according to the fullness of HIS
favor.
** This is part of one
LONG sentence, extending from verse 3 to verse 12 .The subject, the one doing
all these things for us THROUGH HIS
BELOVED SON+ ,
is
The FATHER !
Therefore, the pronoun HIS in
verse 7 refers to The FATHER's fullness of favor.

Now, from the Syriac /
Aramaic translations of Dr’s. Etheridge, Murdock, and Lamsa, courtesy of
Dukhrana.com :
Ephesians 1:7 - in whom we have redemption, and by his blood
the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace
|
Ephesians 1:7 - by whom we have redemption, and the
forgiveness of sins by his blood, according to the riches of his grace,

Ephesians 1:7 - In him we have salvation, and in his blood,
forgiveness of sins, according to the richness of his grace

MEDITATION
The BELOVED+ of The
FATHER, our LORD Y'SHU+ M'SHIKHA, has provided each one of us an
instrument, a tool, for us to be loosend from the deadly grip of our sins.
That Divine INSTRUMENT was His+ own BLOOD. No finer
instrument exists. His+ BLOOD is totally effective
to loosen away the grip that sin has on our hearts, minds, emotions, and
bodies.
Interestingly, the word
for SIN [
parapt0ma ] in this verse is NOT the normal Greek word used for SIN,
found throughout the LXX and New Covenant.
The normal word for SIN is
[ amartyia -- refusing to be a martyr ].
The Greek word, parapt0ma , used in
verse 7 is found approximately 18 times in the New Covenant. It means "an
infraction, a violation, a transgression."
Thus, WHAT or WHO is being
over-stepped, side-stepped, or being fractured ( broken ) ? This verse does not tell us.
However, it is obvious that "transgression"
means that the character of GOD, the character of Our LORD
Y'SHU+ M'SHIKHA, is being violated
in word, deed, or thought.
That is to say...
we have stepped-upon,
stepped-around, infringed upon, and over-stepped the boundaries of
righteousness as defined by HIM+.
We have taken advantage of His+
kindness; we have not laid to heart WHAT Our FATHER'S mercy to
us cost HIS SON+. We have ignored the Price+ of our
Redemption, the loosening from our death-bringing sins.
Transgression involves breaking
"the rules" of GOD; after all, HIS rules reflect HIS character, HIS
righteous ways.
Now, we DO know
what The LORD tells us to do. In Matthew 5, 6, and 7 ( and in other places in
Scripture ) there are clear things we
OUGHT to be doing, for HE+ is the LAW made INCARNATE+.
Thus, whatever HE+ says, do
it. ( John 2:5 )
No, we do not CHOOSE to live as
sinners any longer. We, however, still have our Adamic, human nature to contend
with as long as we are living on earth. We must train ourselves to submit to
the Living Word+ of GOD.
BUT AFTER our IMMERSION and the
marvelous RE-BIRTH from above ... we now have a Divine,
Priceless INSTRUMENT+ which equips us to loosen the grip of sin and
transgression from our lives.
In WHOM+
we have a "loosening" instrument, His+
BLOOD, used
for the remission of transgressions according to the fullness of HIS
favor.
This wonderful, Life-Giving
INSTRUMENT is... His+ BLOOD.
We are bought with a PRICE+;
we are not our own any longer.
The fullness, the richness, of our FATHER'S favor is
freely provided to mankind in M'SHIKHA Y'SHU+. Our
Heavenly FATHER has given the utmost to help us escape from
the grip of our sins.
Do we WANT
to ?
+ + +
LET US PRAY:
Gracious Heavenly FATHER,
The FATHER of us and of our LORD Y'SHU+ M'SHIKHA...
I have foolishly sinned
against THEE by ignoring my transgressions and not dealing with them with my
WHOLE heart.
I have allowed myself little
indulgences here and there, and worse, I have stifled that still small voice
that tells me I am doing wrong.
I am only fooling myself, for
there is NO HIDING place from THEE.
Against THEE only have I
sinned and done what is considered "evil" in THINE eyes.
My sin, my un-GOD-like
choices for self-indulgence, my hidden attitudes, have blinded my eyes to my own
transgressions against Thy HOLY SON+
Y'SHU+.
I have been remiss in
battling my own Adamic nature.
THOU hast done Thy part, O
FATHER; help me do mine.
Help me to submit my flesh
unto the cleansing BLOOD+ of
my LORD Y'SHU+ M'SHIKHA daily... and without guile.
Then I will know the release
from death and sin that HIS+ BLOOD obtained
for me... and for all who would come to HIM+...
in spirit and in truth.
Create
in me a clean heart , O GOD, and renew a Right spirit within me.
For the sake of the ONE+
WHO+ hung on the tree to release me from my sins, I offer THEE my love
and my allegiance now and forever, my GOD and my KING+.
+ + +
Worthy is the LAMB+.
Worthy is The LAMB+
that was slain.
Worthy is the LAMB+,
slain
from the foundation
of the earth.
Revelation 13:8
+ + +
PRAISE and THANKSGIVING
be to The FATHER,
and to His Beloved SON+
Y’SHU+ the M’SHIKHA,
and to
the Blessed RUACH haKADOSH.
ONE GOD:
FATHER,
SON+,
and RUACH HA KADOSH,
both now and forever,
world without end.
Amen.
